Orlando didn't expect that he could easily recognize his identity just by showing Davis his family's flag, and he couldn't help but be happy: it seemed that this person could be his father's old acquaintance, and if he asked for help, it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Thinking of this, Orlando picked up the wine glass in his hand again, and a sad look appeared on his face.

"Uncle Davis, tell me a little bit about myself. My name is Orlando...... Orlando Lister. This time I came to Abbasquia, I did have important things to do, and of course, my father also gave me a list of old friends he had made during his time in the army, and told me to visit one or two along the way at a convenient time. ”

Davis stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat that had just broken out on his head as if he were inadvertent. "Huo, it's really rare, after so many years, Lister can still remember us, how many have you seen when you came out?"

Davis's question hit Orlando's soft underbelly at once, and the list that could have been used to set up a close list has long been left behind him now, and now what can he use to deal with Davis?

Orlando had no choice but to make a show, rubbing his eyes vigorously so that the tears in them would secrete, and then he took the ale glass in his hand, and drank it all again at the risk of choking, blushing and babbling

"Uncle...... Along the way, I've only seen you one along the way. They're gone, and I don't know how to explain to my father if I hadn't met you. ”

The old knight took a big sip of his glass, and he didn't answer Orlando's mouth again, but raised it repeatedly, and then put it down again, as if thinking about something.

After the two were silent for a long time, Orlando finally opened his mouth first, and he always felt a little unrighteous when he saw Davis's face full of uncomfortable conversations.

"Uncle, I have other things to do this time. Have you heard about the south?"

After hearing this, Davis blinked several times in a row, and then asked in a puzzled tone, "Isn't this the southern frontier of the empire?"

Orlando repeated his words again, "Mine is the south side, the other side across the sea......" Looking at Davis, who was almost in a stupor, Orlando reached out his hand and quietly shook it in front of him a few times. "I've heard it in Mogia that there's a gold mine on the other side of the sea. Uncle, you've been there. ”

Davis lowered his head, then lifted it again. Now, a kind of unexplained sadness was written on his face.

"I have nothing to say...... What's going on over there, hey, I don't know anyway. To tell you the truth, although I haven't known you for a long time, I have also heard your father mention, hey, you are a good boy. If there's a chance that I'll change your mind, I wouldn't recommend going to that place either......"

"Uncle, I'm going there to look for gold mines! A lot of people have come back from there and made a fortune, haven't they? If you have information from the south...... Although I don't have any money in my hand now, I will definitely send you a copy after I have made money from there, and the amount will definitely satisfy you!"

Orlando saw that Davis was quite refusal, and hurriedly offered his own price. He looked at Davis expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from his eyes.

Davis slowly lowered his glass.

His brows furrowed slightly, although there was no big move, it still made people a little afraid to look at him. The bartender, who had just returned from the other guests' work to see the play, saw Davis like this, and turned back, trying to get away from the table here, and at the same time picked up a linen hanging from his shoulder and wiped his forehead.

He muttered, "This old guy still has such a side? Could it be that the young man is a sub-mark and a spy? Hey, that's scary, is this an honest man angry?"

Perhaps even he didn't realize that in his slight uneasiness he had used Davis's usual mantra, as if those few words could calm Davis's anger.

Orlando didn't realize the gravity of the situation for a moment, and he was ready to reorganize the language in exchange for the information he wanted. By this time he had completely indulged in the thirst for gold.

"Did you ever see a river across the South China Sea? It's very simple, they all have gold mines along the river, and you can find piles and piles of gold just a few miles along the river. 'And all I'm going to do is bring them back, it's so easy, there's no risk in this opportunity, and then I'll give you some of the gold that I've brought back, and then you can ......drink it all the time."

Davis stood up straight from his chair.

"Shut up! I don't know that bastard taught you this!" Listening to Orlando's babbling voice, Davis's anger burned to the extreme, and he threw Orlando to the ground, gasping violently a few times, and then yelled at him in a warning manner.

"Get me up and get out of here!"

Orlando lay on the floor, looking at the man he called "Uncle" from the floor, a little embarrassed, but he quickly realized that something might be strange about it. He staggered to his feet from the floor, Davis's arm was far more powerful than it seemed, and even years of drinking had not completely hollowed out the old man.

Orlando rubbed his sore retreat from being pushed to the ground, and just as he was about to explain something, Davis, who was still in a rage, walked up to him. As soon as Davis took a step forward, he had to push a step back, and he fell down the steps of the tavern door step by step.

Orlando straightened his back, only felt that he was very aggrieved, he had stayed in his hometown for so many years, and he had never treated him like this when he came to Lister, but he was afraid that any young man with a little temperament would not be able to swallow this breath directly.

Orlando's mouth opened wide, intending to scold Davis severely, but the words softened again. Davis was also his father's brother in the Knights, his own uncle, and it would be too unseemly to scold him.

"Stranger!" Orlando finally roared angrily at the door of the tavern, and when he saw that no one in the city or drinker paid any attention to him, he turned away from the door of the tavern in a somewhat gloomy manner.

At this time, it was past noon. Tian Sen rested for a while in the "Cold Spring Palace" of the empire, and after feeling a little recuperated in his energy, he planned to return to his "Prime Minister's Apartment" to deal with his daily affairs, he still walked along the garden path in the palace, and did not bring an entourage with him.

A few years ago, the emperor had gently admonished Tian Sen, persuading him that he should add one or two guards to himself, after all, under the rolling development of the imperial gears, not all lords and former tribal chieftains appreciate the current way of development, in case they want to retaliate, Tian Sen, as the prime minister of the empire, is likely to be a point where those people want to retaliate.

At that time, Tian Sen was even more physically fit than he is now, and he smiled and talked to Nordin about his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, if I, as a prime minister, am hacked to death by some people in the country seeking revenge, it can only be clear that I am not suitable to be the prime minister of the empire at all. As for the enemies abroad, Your Majesty, I still trust my own abilities, and as long as you are here, the Empire will never make any major changes because of my absence, and you should pay more attention to your safety than ask me to add a few more guards. ”

At that time, the affairs of the empire, although busy, were far from being so precarious.

Tian Sen's heart was a little bitter, since His Majesty the Emperor was ill, the affairs of the empire up and down were all messed up, just take the matter of the Northland reclamation team before, two or three years ago, only the emperor needed to take a carriage to the city for a turn, and there would be more than ten reclamation teams from the imperial city immediately, where would you think that now, the reclamation plan of the Northland has obviously been made for nearly a year, and it is only a plan now.

He remembered the report brought back by the messenger named Donald Ter, and his head was on fire. I really don't know who transferred a waste that was supposed to be squatting at the gate to collect taxes as a messenger.

"Your Excellency, there are two kinds of wine in the Northlands, and I will bring them all back. Of course, I didn't spend a word on the empire, they were all gifts from local merchants to the empire, so I will give you a taste of it first to see if it is the taste of my hometown. ”

In addition to this flattering tone, the report brought back by the messenger also wrote in great detail how he had brought His Majesty's message to the subjects of the Northland, and how the subjects of the Northland were happy to hear the "Emperor's voice".

Damn, is it up to you to stand on the stage and give speeches? If you have that time, you might as well woo the nobles who volunteered to go to the Northlands, and ask them what they need, and what is very convenient to transport from the Empire, this is called a pioneer.

In addition, according to the Solomon Federation in the past two years, it has not been very stable anywhere, and it is said that it has fought a big war, and those ancient city-states have been beaten to the point of almost extinction.

But what does that have to do with the people of the Great Prus Empire? Those big-mouthed cannons are fighting in the midst of each other, and Tian Sen is ashamed of him if he doesn't perish in such a garbage country.

Obviously, with the integration of the imperial bureaucracy and the fiefdom lords, some incapable related households climbed up, these nobles usually use it very well, and they are ready to wipe the emperor's ass with paper everywhere, but when they finish wiping their buttocks, they all reach out and dig into the pocket of His Majesty the Emperor, Tian Sen has the intention to destroy these relationship networks, but he is always powerless when dealing with them.

Just when Tian Sen was full of complaints, a young man in Chinese clothes jumped out of the flower bed next to the path, he smiled and came to Tian Sen's side, and said jokingly, "I listen to the guards in this palace, this road should not be called the garden path, but should be called the prime minister's path, because the frequency of the prime minister to take this road is more diligent than those gardeners who water the flowers, and today I am waiting for you here, sure enough." ”

As the boy spoke, he slapped the dirt on his body with his hands.

"Hey, the flowers and plants in early summer are the best, who knows that the drill has just been drilled into the mud, if it can be washed in the rain, it will be clean and beautiful. ”

The young man looked at the prime minister with a smile, and the prime minister looked at the future of the empire with calm eyes, that is, His Royal Highness Perris, the prince of the empire, whom he had just met not long ago in the morning, he was Tian Sen's biggest heart disease, and with the intention of curing it, Tian Sen decided to have a good chat with this crown prince.

He watched this child grow up from infancy little by little, from receiving the best education, and there was no reason to become a waste.

"May Sardinia always guard your soul from invasion, Your Highness. It is a great pleasure to wait for your greetings, and I think that you have come here to wait for me as a courtier, and I must not have come to introduce me to the flowers and plants in the palace. ”

"I have never dared to treat you as a courtier, Prime Minister. Perris put down his hand that was patting the dirt, raised his head and said to Tian Sen, "You turned out to be a king, and the iron crown on your head was just taken off when I was six years old when I was a virgin. If it weren't for my grandfather...... "Your Majesty Sen", I'm afraid I'll have to salute you when I see you now, right?"

Tian Sen's heart was stabbed by the crown prince's sharp words, and he wondered if he had offended him when, but on the surface, he still looked like he didn't get a drop of water.

"Don't joke with me, an old man who has half cut into the ground, Your Highness, you may not know, when I am my age, just three or two words are enough to scare to death. ”

"Hmph, I've seen people who can be scared to death in three or two sentences, but they certainly don't include the Imperial Prime Minister who is stronger than a bear. Perris said this, and the tone of conversation suddenly changed.

"I know that my words and two will not scare you, but now there are always some inconspicuous characters in the empire who stand in your way, and these characters are piled up, and even a king, or even my father, an emperor, is dragged by them, it is difficult to walk peacefully and smoothly. Am I right, Prime Minister?"

Tian Sen remained silent, he asked tentatively: "There are quite a few 'big shots' among those people, even the former King of Beihai has to think carefully about dealing with them, let alone now, how else can we deal with them?"

Perris looked at this prime minister who did not take the bait like a shrunken shell, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, but his face was still filled with a harmless smile like a human and animal.

Everyone
